THE MOJO MAKERS

Our fourth record has been released. It is called "Songs of the
Sirens", and is out on jazzhouse records.
We are looking forward to play it for for you.

The Mojo Makers combines both equal showmanship and technical
mastering. In the short period this blues band has existed it
has already toured frequently all around Europe and developed a
unique live show. With at solid hard rocking rhythm section and
a charismatic lead singer they have captured and amassed the
audiences wherever they performed. Both because of the energy
level of every concert, but also because of their musicality and
skills on their instruments.

The songs of The Mojo Makers are all original, combining the
sound and the inspiration from the old blues masters, mixed
with a flavor of 70's soul and R&B sound. Mojo Makers push
the boundaries for the genre but never so far away that you
cant dance and party to the music.

"Despite the fact that blues music is the foundation of
rhythmic music, critics have abandoned this genre for thirty
years or more. It has long been a dry spell for blues music
and its artists in the club of "Good Taste", and on the
charts.

Despite the lack of recognition, blues has never been more
alive than today, which seems ironic. A huge variety of good
blues musicians are exploring the genre and playing the music,
today more than ever.

For more than a hundred years, blues music has proved its
worth as a tool and a language that people can relate to.
Blues is about the very essence of life, helping us to share
fundamental feelings – such as love, sex, anger and sorrow.

Now more than ever we need blues music, but there are too few
places where you can let go and take a load off. In these
challenging times where piles of information, decisions and
work are an everyday challenge, it is good to know a place
where you can pull out the plug and feel alive and connected
to the fundamental values in life. The true blues musician
knows that, and lives it."Kasper Osman - Singer and guitarist, the Mojo
Makers

Mike Ainscore- Fetea Music Magazine

A Great Blues-Rock album with a lot of attitude from a
young band from DK, which still have a great future. More of
that please.

Wortschlaghammer

Without a doubt. The young musicians have a special
position the genre blues-rock and they have with their
second album paved the way to the top

Neue Osnabrucker Zeitung

Devils Hands has a weighty ethnic presence that is framed
by historical context. It is full of context, oozes of soul,
is essentially routed in blues and is unnecessary
recommended.Pete Feenstra- Get ready to rock

"Singer, guitarist and songwriter Kasper Osman shows what
fantastic voice he has got. He reaches from the deepest
register to the highest note –and he has got soul in his
voice."Morten Nissen - at Lydtapetet

"Kasper Osman's blues vocal is powerful!! He is at the
same level as other young blues rock people like Jonny Lang,
Doyle Bramhall and John Mayer."Blues News, Denmark

"To compare the Mojo Makers with Led Zeppelin and Free is
perhaps big words, but that was none the less what I thought
when I fist heard this band. An irresistible energy, great
compositions, a supreme vocal and a way to play the guitar
that leads you back to the 70'tees. Mojo Makers is at the
same time modern blues rock as it should sound. Lead guitar
player Kristian Hoffmann plays with feeling, temper, energy
and delivers the punchlines to the audience every concert."Rasmus Winther - Booker at the leading blues club in
Denmark,
Mojo Blues bar

"Mojo Makers Plays really, really great! Kasper Osman has
one of the best rock voices I have heard recently."Head of playlist(P4) Danish National Radio- Alex
Nyborg Madsen

Music moves on, the past is there as a
guide and meant to be surpassed, finally a band has the
absolute temerity and guts to do what so few have tried to
do, to take on the specter of the music equivalent of
Hamlet’s father’s ghost and the result is just superb. Wait Till The Morning is released on the
Hypertension-Music label on the 16th September.Ian D Hall, Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating
9/10

Mojo Makers sind ja der Hammer!!!!Kiel FM Radio Station
A blues and soul packed band in an excellent guitar/Hammond
and drum based rock ecstatic format in its genre. Now it is
church time. Mojo Makers is the toughest band I have heard
in a long time! Put them on a boat to Norway now!!!!Jhonny Andreassen, Blues News Norway

With a soulful slide-guitar and the howl from a wolf pack,
the Danes begin their excellent album Henning Richter, Classic Rock Magazine- Germany

This was all mixed together in such a way, that at this
point you can compare them to The Black Keys, the Allman
Brothers, and Free.Marcel Thenee, 5 of 5 guitar-Gs- Germany

"It is lead singer Kasper Osman who steals the limelight
though his raggedly and enthralling vocal,
one that conjures up a comparison with Poul Rodgers
from Free"
English review

Mojo Makers-"Wait til the morning" A new name to me-
Denmarks Mojo Makers certainly created quite a stir with a
very good cd of all original material and probably the cd
artwork of the year.

a voice and a tone you can recognize immediately when
you hear them. Kristian Hoffmann is one of them.

Kristian Bast, Bass
One of the secrets behind the Mojo Makers is its solid
rhythm section. Many years of experience as well as a
unique approach to the blues genre makes the drums' and
the bass' groove lethal on the dance floor. Mojo Makers
was founded to celebrate the blues as well as 'that'
rhythm in the music. Together with Morten Hæsum,
Kristian Bast delivers just that.

the bar for any rytmn section in the blues genre.
